Back to Savannah

I'm back on the road again, this time on a business trip to Hinesville, GA, just outside of Savannah. There's no cohesive entry here (I wouldn't want to bore you to death with a noodle post), so I just have some random thoughts.

The War on Spam is Over: I Won

Oh yes, it's true. I'm declaring victory over spam. After years of Viagra ads in my inbox and torrents of spam comments hitting our website, I've finally rid myself of dealing with the vast majority of the spam I have to deal with. How did I beat the spammers? How is it that I deal […]

Nudity Makes Everything Funnier

It's true. Take the following example:
Boring: "Dog Bites Man"
Hysterical: "Dog Bites Naked Man"
I rest my case. 

Payday Loan Companies Should Be Heavily Regulated

What's more prolific than 7-11, more dishonest than a Vegas bookie and more expensive than a loan from that guy named Vinnie? Nothing more than a payday loan company. I watched these blights on society start popping up on every street corner when I lived in Las Vegas (ironically across the street from the new […]

Something in this ad is so very, very wrong.

Do you see what's wrong with this picture? 

Annabelle, you’re lucky to be alive.

I took Annabelle into the vet today, and given the noise she was making, you'd think it was the doggie equivalent of Auschwitz. She whined the entire way to the vet's office, she whined the entire time she was in the vet's office, she yelped and cried when she got her shots, she howled on […]

Apple Proves It’s Still Got It

I have to admit, I was beginning to have my doubts about Apple's innovative qualities. The iPod hadn't seen a major revision in many quarters, Intel-based Macs weren't making as much noise as one would have thought, and iTV was lost in a wave of other media PCs. And then they basically released the coolest […]

Don’t Buy the Farmhouse: How Organic Farming Can Save Utah Agriculture

I'll admit it: I'm a very crunchy conservative. I believe in organic foods (even if we don't have money to buy them), I don't feed our dogs food made with a lot of preservatives, and I try to avoid packaged or processed foods when I can. I drink water instead of soda, I can name […]

The Best Bands You Aren’t Listening To

Do you listen to a band that most folks have never heard of? Do you know the entire discography of a group that never had more than a few songs get major airplay? Does it frustrate you to no end that nobody else has tapped into the hidden treasures that you can't get enough of? […]

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

There are a lot of food combinations that are totally non-obvious. Tortellini and eggs, chili and spaghetti, cream cheese and cucumbers. Even peanut butter and jelly can be non-obvious. Well, it can be when you use habanero jelly.
That's right. I made a peanut butter and habanero jelly sandwich today. Why would I do such a […]
